Feels Like It's Time to Dream Again

At home.
"Ring~!!" The alarm sounded off from my hp for the who-knows how many times since the snooze... I was thinking why has morning came so fast. I thought I just closed my eyes a moment ago... That's about 12am since I slept... It's actually 7am.

My heart was thumping... Anyway, I groomed myself and quickly copied the schedule, then I slot it into my wallet. It's only 7.30am... I was too fast... So I sat down and prayed... I could hear my mum nagging outside my room, asking what breakfast I preferred... I was still nervous... In the end, I went off, double checking the $25 in my wallet...

On MRT.
My mind was kinda blank and I could only remember vaguely why I was going there... Pam told me and I thought, " Should I go? Undeserving me... " Small event, big irony. "What if I meet familiar faces... What if..."

At Mac.
I was too hungry, and I parted with my $5 for a breakfast meal... *heartache. My heart was beating at an unusual metonomic rate... I still felt uncertain..

At Cuppage.
Saw Winstar and his friends... Some singers... Saw Kim, Qian Jin, Joleen... etc. We hung around at the entrance of Nexus. My hands found themsleves msging Pam to ask if walk-in registration is available even though she said so upteen times on msn previously. Not long after the walk-in registration opened... Of course I went in... I think I looked blur. Winstar, Shern, and I stuck together for awhile... Quite a rare chance... I never remembering spending time with Winstar and Shern together in this manner... I only met them a few times.

Inside the Auditorium.
Pnw... Pastor Paul from Paradise talked about Team Dynamic...
Key people in a a worship team
1. Have passion for the House of God
2. Have passion for God that exceeds passion for musical excellence
3. Know the power of "Yes"
4. Are positive
5. Don't focus on problems but potentials
6. Have realistic expectation and understanding of their gifts
7. Are consistent
I think I am afraid. But I wanna overcome and be confident again...

At the reception.
I forgot his name. But I'll remember his hair... The electric guitarist of Paradise spoke in the guitar workshop. He talked about the acoustic guitar, guitar 2, and gutar 1. He also talked about the guitar effects. Basically he talked about how he uses them at different parts of a song for different purposes.
What are "phasers", "chorus", "echoes", "wah"... etc.
What impressed me was that he was not "dao1" at all... In fact, when he spoke, He spoke with such candid frankness. He prepared what he wanted to do on a piece of paper, but he would forget where he left off since digression.. He has such servanthood humility...

Back in auditorium.
The volunteers from the workshops rehearsed with Anna and Ogley of Paradise for the song "Saturate". Then, a live recording began as we worshipped using that song with the arrangements... That's a practical for the volunteers. That was the first time I witnessed Donovan, a new YWAM drummer, played... He's young, and he's good. God anoints those who seeks to glorify Him. Afterwhich, some Paradise musicians, particularly Ogley (the one with the shiny head and humourous lameness), attempted to entertain us with jokes as the recording team prepared to roll back the playing of the volunteers on stage. We managed to view it... Not bad, for a mix of people who came together as a band for the first time.

As this event came to the end, I went off for my lunch. Now I'm home.

The effects... It's about time for me to buy... but not yet...

"Passion for God exceeds passion for musical excellence"... etc...

A PnW is happening now at Nexus (since 4pm), for the Hope members. Tonight, at 7.30pm, will be the 2nd night for Paradise concert in Singapore. This is with the partnership of Alby Singapore... Jacob helped this, I think..

Who am I to deserve these... Undeserving me learning grace in the most intimate manner...
